We invite filmmakers to submit their films for the Sports and Entertainment Film Festival, held at Legion Field Stadium in Birmingham, AL, on August 29th and 30th. This festival is a unique opportunity to showcase your work in front of a diverse audience that bridges the worlds of sports and film. Featuring celebrity directors, actors, and athletes, the event will include exclusive panels and workshops that dive into the art of sports storytelling and film production, making it the perfect platform for filmmakers to gain exposure and connect with industry professionals.
What makes this festival truly special is the audience experience. Your film will be screened in an immersive setting right in the heart of a live football game, where attendees can watch using headphones for a silent cinema experience. This offers a rare opportunity for your work to be viewed in an intimate yet energetic environment. Plus, selected filmmakers will have their trailers showcased on the stadium’s big screen, giving their projects the chance to be seen by an audience of 70,000 people.
Don’t miss the chance to have your film featured in an event that blends the excitement of sports with the power of cinema. Submit your work and become part of a festival that celebrates the intersection of these two dynamic worlds.
